Gabriel Boudier Guignolet de Dijon Cherry Liqueur 18%

At the heart of Burgundy, where cherry trees blossom each spring, the Boudier family has for generations distilled summer's ripest cherries into a liqueur so deep and ruby-red it seems to glow in the glass.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Gabriel Boudier's Guignolet de Dijon is a French cherry liqueur at 18% ABV, produced by Gabriel Boudier in Dijon from macerated guignes cherries.

Gabriel Boudier has distilled liqueurs in Dijon since 1874 and has been run by the Battault family from the same premises since 1936. Guignolet de Dijon is one of the house's classic products, made by letting whole cherries - stones included - steep in alcohol, so both the fruit flesh and a subtle almond note from the kernels come through in the liqueur.

Smag

The nose offers ripe, sweet cherries with a hint of almond, while the palate is full and round with a pleasant balance between sweetness and a light tart fruit-stone edge. The finish is soft and lingering with a persistent cherry character.
